Review: The Collector by Victoria Scott

From the second I saw the synopsis I’ve wanted to read The Collector, and
then I finally got my copy.I breezed
through it in a few short hours, and wow, I have to say that I’m pretty
impressed.Scott did a remarkable job on
putting a spin on the whole Soul Collector thing, making it almost entirely
new.The writing was entertaining with
witty dialogue and snarky comments dropped into places you wouldn’t expect them
to be.

Most books I read aren’t
portrayed from the viewpoint of the guy, and I have to say that I found it kind
of refreshing.Dante was exactly how the
synopsis portrayed him to be: bad, and uncaring.Still, there’s more to him than I originally
thought there’d be.Then there was
Charlie, she was Dante’s polar opposite. And it was entertaining to see Dante grow as he got to know her.Also, there was romance but it wasn’t
overbearing.

The plot started out running, and
kept going until the very end.There
were some very minor things that I had an issue with, but overall it was a good
book.Oh, the ending, don’t even get me
started.I love it when the ending of a
book surprises me with facts I didn’t even realize were there.That’s exactly what the Collector did.The ending also left a lot of things
unfinished.Needless to say, I have some
questions that haven’t been answered.Still,
it left me wanting more and luckily the publication date for The Liberator
isn’t too far away.
